We're home from our deputation trip to Pennsylvania! This is the first time we've had a chance to be back on the web since our last post.
The trip finished well. Days 12, 13, 14 were full. We made good connections, came away with two new supporters and have several folks praying about becoming involved. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in this trip through praying; hosting; giving gifts; welcoming us into their home, class, or small group; setting-up venues, trouble-shooting computers, meeting with us, and introducing us to others. We ate well and were loved on by many. We praise the Lord for the past two weeks and look forward to how He will choose to glorify Himself through it.
Tucker and Tanner were glad to see us, they didn't damage anything while we were away, we missed a dusting of snow, and the grass will soon be tall enough for the first mow of the season! The roses are leafing out, the daffodils are up, and the tulips are getting ready to flower. It's still dark, damp, and cold here but spring must be close.
On A Completely Different Note
We listened to an audio book on the way up and back: Adams vs. Jefferson chronicling the personal and political relationship between John Adams, 2nd President of the US; and Thomas Jefferson, Vice-President under Adams and then 3rd US President. What an enlightening book. It gives quite the overview of the political situation between 1776 and the Presidential election of 1800. To sum up 10 CDs...politics today is just like it was 200 years ago. All that's changed are the names and faces. We were stunned by the political parallels and realities between Washington, DC then and Washington DC, now.
That's why our hope is in Jesus Christ, NOT Washington, DC, and this just reinforces that our true citizenship is in Heaven, not here on this Earth.
What a relief.
What a hope.
What a promise!
